Subject: Re: Help sorting an array

Hi,

First of all, thank you very much for the replies.
In the mean time I have managed to hack together a small function to do
what I want, but it is too embarrassingly bad to post here and I used
one of the other proposed solutions instead.

I agree that a different data structure would be much less cumbersome,
but I wouldn't know which. What I'm doing is parsing a html document (a
calendar) into an array, and using that array to create widgets in a
FXRuby GUI. The month names serve as the title of a label and out of the
Event objects I then create the appropriate text fields, labels and
group boxes for each event. As a month can have multiple events I found
it easier to do it this way, as otherwise I would have to find some way
of ordering events to month names, which at first glance seemed pretty
complicated.

If anyone has any suggestions of a better way to approach this problem,
I would be very glad to hear them.

Thanks for your help so far.
